Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

"no."

Wen Yan glanced at her and, assuming it was a relationship issue, couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"When two people are together, they should talk things out and not keep them bottled up inside."

"Okay," Su Wuli smiled. "We have no problem."

"That's good." Wen Yan didn't ask any more questions, waved her hand, and left.

After closing the door, Su Wuli leaned against the door panel and stood there for a while.

The TV was still on when I walked back to the guest room.

It was changed to a variety show, and the host was laughing and joking on stage.

She didn't turn off the TV, but picked up her phone, sat on the sofa, and opened a shopping app.

I typed two words into the search box.

【drug】

It's been deleted.

【bandage】

It was deleted again.

I typed it, then deleted it.

She didn't know how to search or what to buy.

I think I should make a list first.

Even when I'm trying to sleep at night, this list of medications keeps replaying in my mind.

The next morning, Su Wuli sent Lin Liwen a message asking if she was at the company.

Lin Liwen replied immediately and then sent another message.

It's rare for you to reach out to me first. What's up?

Su Wuli didn't mention it in the message, she only replied with one sentence.

Let's talk in person.

Then she went out.

When I arrived at the company, Lin Liwen was flipping through contracts in her office, with several documents spread out on the table.

Seeing Su Wuli come in, he casually closed the contract and pushed it aside.

He gestured with his chin toward the chair opposite him. "What is it? Speak."

Su Wuli sat down opposite her, her fingers resting on her knees.

She had thought of her opening remarks many times before she came, and had several different ways of saying them, but she forgot them all when it came time to say them.

She went straight to the point, "I want to buy a batch of wound medicine." She paused, "The quantity is considerable, but I don't want to buy it in my personal capacity."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Liwen paused for a moment, the rim of her coffee cup touching her lower lip.

She looked up at Su Wuli, her gaze lingering on her face for a moment.

Without pressing further, I simply asked, "How much?"

Su Wuli took out her phone, opened the memo app, and handed it over.

The screen displayed a long list of items: iodine, gauze, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, alcohol wipes, tourniquets, burn ointment, and medical tape.

Lin Liwen took the phone and swiped it from top to bottom, then put it on the table.

Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "Why are you buying so much medicine?"

"It works," Su Wuli said.

Lin Liwen stared at her for a few seconds.

Su Wuli did not avoid her gaze, nor did she add anything further.

Lin Liwen picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and put it down. "You're the kind of person who can't do anything bad."

She picked up her phone from the table, looked at the list again, and said, "Give it to me."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli opened her mouth as if to say something.

Lin Liwen, however, did not give her a chance.

He was already making plans in his mind, his fingers tapping lightly on the edge of the table as he muttered to himself.

"Buy these things separately, a little from each pharmacy, and no one will suspect anything. There are so many people in the company, everyone can buy a little and it will be enough..."

As she spoke, she looked up at Su Wuli and said, "Give me a list, and I'll break each item down into smaller portions. I'll use my connections to buy the larger portions for you."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wen." Su Wuli nodded and forwarded the memo on her phone to Lin Liwen.

Su Wuli sat opposite Lin Liwen, watching her assign purchasing tasks.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Liwen put down her phone.

"Alright, it should be all ready in three or four days. I'll have someone deliver it to you then."

Su Wuli looked up at her, "Is that all you've bought?"

Lin Liwen glanced at her, "If it's not enough, we can buy more. It's not like we can't buy more."

…………

The package arrived on the afternoon of the third day.

When Su Wuli opened the door, the deliveryman placed large cardboard boxes at the entrance.

The cardboard boxes were heavy, and Su Wuli pushed them into the house one by one.

Then cut open the tape to check.

Iodine solution, gauze, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, tourniquets, burn ointment, medical tape...

My phone vibrated.

It's news about Lin Liwen.

Everything on the list is there. Please check if anything is missing. If it's not enough, let me know and I'll figure something out.

Su Wuli looked down at the box of medicine, her hand resting on the edge of the box.

She stared at the bottles and jars for a while, then typed a few words and sent them over.

That's enough, thank you.

Lin Liwen sent an emoji and a comment.

Why are you being so polite with me?

Su Wuli smiled as she read the reply.

Then he pushed the cardboard box from the living room into the bedroom.

But it sank.

The floorboards made a dull thud as they were dragged across the floor, like pushing a stone.

Finally, panting heavily, I stood in the bedroom looking at a row of boxes and suddenly realized something.

In the past, when I brought things over, I would just take them directly to the bed.

But now there are so many boxes.

She couldn't move the bed up, and even if she could, she wouldn't have anywhere to lie down.

Su Wuli squatted down, tapping the corner of the cardboard box with her fingers as she pondered for a while.

Then he stood up, walked to the living room, and pulled a roll of rope from the entryway cabinet.

The white nylon rope was used once during the move and then left untouched.

He took the rope back to the bedroom and tied one end to the first box in a knot.

The rope was looped around, pulled tight, and tied in a knot.

Finally, pull the rope to the other cardboard boxes and tie it on.

After she finished, she stood up, holding the other end of the rope in her hand.

I looked at the row of boxes, then at my own bed.

She had only ever brought one item with her before, the most she ever brought was food and medicine, which she thought Yu Chen was under house arrest.

There are so many things I've never tried before.

She didn't know if she could succeed.

But she wanted to try anyway, since it would help him.

After working up a sweat from carrying things, Su Wuli took a shower, ate something quickly, and then lay down on the bed.

Holding the other end of the rope tightly in her hand, afraid that she would let go if she fell asleep, she made sure to wrap it around several times.

I closed my eyes, and my consciousness gradually sank downwards.

…………

I woke up the next day.

Su Wuli opened her eyes and saw the ceiling of the apartment.

There are no dreams.

Moreover, not only did he not dream for one day, but he dreamed for the next few days in a row.

That means she has no way to bring the things over.

However, she would still buy some medicine from time to time, since there were many people in the military camp and they could never have too much of it.

Two days later, Lin Liwen helped her prepare another batch.

A week later, Su Wuli, as usual, held the rope in her hand and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she wasn't on the apartment ceiling.

The gray-green canvas was supported by several wooden beams.

The light from the oil lamp danced on the canvas, casting the shadows of the wooden beams onto the tent roof.

She was lying on the ground, and it was very uncomfortable.

And it's especially cold, much colder than before.

Su Wuli's hand, still gripping the rope, was held close to her ear; the rope was taut.

He propped himself up on his elbows and sat up, then turned around.

All that could be seen were cardboard boxes piled up in the middle of the tent, stacked crookedly together.

Seeing that she had successfully brought everything over, Su Wuli breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around, I saw Yu Chen sitting behind a low table.

He was holding a book in his hand.

As if because of her sudden appearance and the boxes, he looked up at her.

His gaze shifted from her face to the pile of boxes, a hint of surprise in his expression.

Seeing this, Su Wuli loosened the rope, stood up, and went to stand next to the pile of boxes.

Yu Chen closed the book in his hand and placed it on the low table. He stood up, picked up the cloak next to him, and walked over to drape it directly over her shoulders.

"It's gotten colder these past few days."

Having said that, he walked to the front of the boxes, reached out and touched the edge of the top box, "What's this?"

Su Wuli tugged at her cloak. "Medicine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at her, then his gaze shifted from her face back to the pile of boxes.

He stood there looking at the pile of boxes for a moment.

"There's medicine in the barracks," he suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was stunned.

She suddenly remembered the Western Region ointments that Yu Chen had given her at the beginning. They would heal the next day after application, and the wounds would close up quickly and cleanly.

It's better than any medicine she's ever taken in the hospital.

What she brought was like child's play compared to his rare Western Region medicine.

Bringing herself back to reality, she said softly, "I want to help you."

She didn't think too much about it at the time; she just acted on impulse.

"I thought these were the things most needed during wartime." She paused, her voice even softer, "I forgot you had medicine from the Western Regions."
